  Yew Trees – T15 and T16: Whilst the trees are category ‘B2’ they have been substantially pushing on a Grade II listed boundary wall which is directly onto The Walk, resulting in a risk to the general public from collapse. Temporary props have been installed, but it is considered that a risk remains to the public. The original consented planning application ‘24/01113/F’ hoped to just reduce the canopies of these trees, further subsequent movement of the wall now necessitates the need to remove these trees on safety grounds. As set out in the attached structural engineer’s report, the tree roots are contributing to the movement of the wall – leading to a critical safety matter as the wall would fall into a public space. This risk would remain if the wall were to be rebuilt, due to the proximity of the roots. Consequently, the wall cannot be made safe or rebuilt without removing these trees and their root systems.

  Lime Trees T11 & T12 Whilst the trees are category ‘B2’ and have been pollarded recently they have been substantially pushing on a Grade II* listed boundary wall which is directly onto Kings Head Lane resulting in a risk to the general public from collapse or collision on the highway. Remedial works to the boundary wall are underway and the road (B4027) is currently closed. While the original consented planning application ‘24/01113/F’ hoped to repair the wall while retaining these trees the full extent of the root systems can now be seen as the wall has been taken down to road level. See photos attached. Consequently the wall cannot be rebuilt to satisfy the listed building consent and at the same time be safe without removing these tress and their root systems.
